Why

Nearly 70% of all the freight tonnage moved in the U.S. goes on trucks


Without the industry and our truck drivers, the economy would come to a standstill


  • Move 9.2 billion tons of freight annually
  • Requires nearly 3 million heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and
  • Over 3 million truck drivers
  • Takes over 37 billion gallons of diesel fuel to move all of that freight

And

Simply – without trucks, America stops
